This was a really fun fantasy romp. The main character is really strong and I appreciate that they minimize her "strong woman" stereotyping.

Biggest criticism is some of the discussion around the MCs indigenous heritage has NOT aged well.

I couldn’t put it down. Also I’m traumatized. 4/5 would read again.

I thought this was a good follow up to the first book, you get to know the characters better - such as Mercy, Adam and Samuel. 

I really like the first person writing style when you get into Mercy's head and hear what she secretly thinks etc. 

I'll continue reading this series because of her, she's a cool character.

I'm hoping the storyline will get better as the series goes on because this felt like a repeat of the previous plot with some small changes and never added anything new to the overall storyline.
